A pre-screening event for the Citrus has been announced for December 3rd. The event will be held at United Cinemas Aqua City Odaiba from 6:30pm JST. The event will show the first two episodes of the anime and will be followed by a talk show. The main cast of the anime will be in attendance and will host the show. Tickets will be available for order from November 18th, and a lottery will also be held from November 14th.

The first promotional video for the anime was released, introducing to us the main characters, voice cast and a little saucy something towards the end.

Japanese manga publisher Ichijinsha first opened up about the anime project in September 2015. The company mentioned on Twitter that they were currently looking into partnering up with a company that would help them produce an anime based on the manga.

Citrus is a yuri romance manga written and illustrated by Saburouta. The series began in November 2012 being published in Ichijinsha’s Comic Yuri Hime magazine. To date a total of 5 volumes have been compiled and published. A drama CD of the series was released with the latest volume, which released in Japan on July 18 this year.

Here is the synopsis of the series from MAL:

Fashionable Yuzu imagined the first day at her new school she transferred to after her mother’s remarriage a bit differently; she didn’t know it’d be an ultra-strict and conservative girls’ school. So instead of a sweet high-school romance, she butts heads with the stern student council president Mei—who turns out to be her new step sister. And she has to learn that hate and attraction are often not that far apart.

The TV anime adaptation of the yuri manga Citrus is in production for a January 2018 broadcast, during the Winter 2017/2018 anime season. Additional information about the series will be revealed at a later date.
